Session Description: Increasing healthcare spending, inadequate access, lack of effective, efficient, and equitable oral healthcare significantly impacts health outcome. The passage of the Affordable Care Act was aimed at addressing some of these issues and pushing the system away from paying for volume to paying for value, however significant gaps remain in the dental delivery system. Value-based health care (VBHC) has been promoted as a means of improving patient outcomes without increasing costs. Yet, its integration and implementation in dental care is poorly understood. This program presents the landscape of VBHC, integration, and implementation of payment models in the public and private sectors in oral health. It will describe the implications for patients, dental providers, purchasers, and dental plans as well as the role prevention, evidence-based guidelines, and quality service, outcomes and safety metrics play in VBHC. Discuss the successes and lessons learned through case studies in the public and private sectors.
